"We worked him on the turf once at Churchill Downs, and he seemed to like it," Golden Soul's trainer, Dallas Stewart, said in a statement.

"So when we saw this race, with a purse of $94,000, we thought it looked like the perfect spot. I think he'll like the course and the distance. And he's doing great."

Robby Albarado has the mount on Golden Soul.

Also among those entered are Eriugena and Posse Attack, recent winners at Saratoga, and Gun Point, a two-time winner who finished fifth in the Jersey Derby and will be ridden by Rosie Napravnik, who's currently fifth in the national jockey standings.
